Mohamed Salah to stay at Liverpool
The Reds are already in contract negotiations with Mohamed Salah since the last year but both parties are yet to close the deal. Liverpool management and head coach Jurgen Klopp have stated their desire to tie down their best player for the long-term future.
Salah is the highest-paid footballer at the club but much behind other big names in the English league. His agent is demanding a £80 million contract offer for four years and Liverpool is close to agreeing to his demands. Yet, last month the player refused to rule out a possible Spanish or French move this summer. But while talking to the reporters in a pre-match press conferences he finally cleared the air about his future.
“I am staying next season for sure. I’m very motivated, motivated through the roof, after what happened last time and Sunday, everyone is motivated for this. We fight for this and everyone is excited.” – Mohamed Salah.
But when asked about his current contract negotiation progress at Anfield, Salah was coy and pressed on talking about the upcoming Champions League final.
“I don’t want to talk about that. I just want to see Hendo with the trophy in his hands and hopefully he will then give it to me! – Mohamed Salah.
